Upgraded CPU and RAM freezes my pc randomly

[Filip_2]

Hello.I upgraded cpu : i5 4690 and ram : Hyperx Savage Red 8GB 1600mhz cl9 and it randomly freezes my pc , restarts on its own .
Old build :
Motherboard : h81m-vg4
CPU:i3 4130 3.4 Ghz
RAM : 8gb of crucial 1600mhz
HDD:1TB .
GPU : palit gtx 750 ti oc storm dual x
IDK what to do , i was so hyped over these new upgrades.
P.S.: the cpu came with its stock cooler which had already put the thermal thingy on it so i installed it exactly like that.The temps in benchmarks didn`t exceed 60 degrees.

Did you add the new ram to the old ram? A lot of times that's a bad idea. Also did you Upgrade your bios before swapping CPUs. Those 8* chipsets don't natively support devil's canyon chips.

 

[Filip_2]

i swapped the ram,didn`t add them to the old ones . Bios is last version 1.50 installed before changing the cpus.

 

[Supahos]

Best I can tell your old and new ram are basically the same stick your old ram back in and see if that helps

 

[Filip_2]

won`t i feel the difference ? because old ram was like stock freq like 11 , and the hyper s are cl9..

 

[Supahos]

Not much if any. Even so try them to confirm if the ram may be the issue.

 

[Filip_2]

ok.i`ll try and come with an answer

If you did two major swaps and the system is now unstable, it is logical to drop down to one stick of RAM in required slot, or, go back to old RAM known to function while troubleshooting...; just because RAM is new does not make it 'known good', or, make it known to fucntion with those memory timings on your board with some unknown memory voltage, or, for that matter, memory speed was not discussed, only rating of memory?

 

[Filip_2]

I will swap Back to the old ram , but honestly,if this is the problem,the new ram,i don t understand where is the issue,because the bios supports xmp,dual channel,2x4gb..i don t get it

 

[Supahos]

May have nothing to do with the board, sometimes thing get messed up being shipped. Also could be dust in your ram slot if you're using one that was once unused.

what bios version? make and model of the psu?

 

[Filip_2]

switched to old ram . no more freezes BUT! loosing frames in games,low fps , things like that ...

[Filip_2]

so ? any other ideeas ? i`ve tried everything.now in games just loosing frames like crazy and nothing seems to be working like i`ve got an upgrade,rather a downgrade

Updating bios basically should fix any compatibility issues with newer cpus and vgas but I don't see newer bios than what you already have. Though intel management engine drivers are worth taking a look at if you haven't already installed them:
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H81M-VG4/?cat=Download&os=Win1064
The compatibility list:
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H81M-VG4/?cat=CPU
does list support for your new cpu from bios 1.3 and up.
The memory compatibility list doesn't list your memory:
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H81M-VG4/?cat=Memory
which may be making things worse but can't be the only issue if it happens with old memory as well.
PSU could have been slowly going and getting newer stuff may have pushed it into too much to handle territory. Don't know, if you got another computer with a hefty psu, you might want to swap the other one into your computer to see if the issues go away.
Otherwise, if you've changed components I would advise you to try resetting your bios first, (taking out cmos battery or reset to default from within bios), and also to try getting your windows install cd (assuming you didn't change your windows during the upgrade at all), running it from boot and using the repair utility to fix any issues there might have cropped up due to hardware swap.
